What I Ate Between Coats of Paint

Phew. This homeowner stuff is exhausting. Alex and I spent the whole day working on the house, with the help of my parents. I have to say, I think we ended up with some pretty dramatic transformations! After 4 days in the house, we’ve replaced a lot of the plumbing, taken down a fence, painted the bedroom, living room, and dining room, cleaned the kitchen (and wow did it need to be cleaned) tackled a few Ikea projects, and fixed the leg on the piano. Thank goodness for the help of my parents. Linking up with Jen, here’s what I managed to eat between projects.

Breakfast

After a trip to Sherwin Williams, I had some Greek yogurt with frozen berries and coffee. Coffee is clearly a must.

Lunch

It actually took two attempts to cook a frozen pizza (no really, it did) since were still figuring out our new ovens. (Uh, how do you know when it’s preheated?!) but I was so hungry, it hit the spot.

Dinner

There was no time for snacks, while we were painting but once we finished up, dinner ended up being a delicious combo from Panera. Still no cooking happening in the kitchen, but we will be tomorrow! I went with half a Greek salad and half a Mediterranean veggie sandwich, made classy by a glass of wine! Once we finished up dinner, Alex and I put together a second Ikea wardrobe while my parents finished up painting and cleaning downstairs. It was an exhausting day, but we’ve made tons of progress on the house! I can’t wait to show you some before and after pictures.

What are you eating today?

Wow, I’m so impressed at all the things you guys are doing on the house! Looks like you managed to get a nice amount of fruits and veggies in, especially on a busy day 🙂 that’s usually a challenge for me.
